【新唐人2013年11月02日讯】上星期广州《新快报》两度在头版发表评论,要求警方释放被跨省抓捕的记者陈永洲,特别是报社那句“穷骨头还是有两根”的豪语,更博得了舆论的关注和同情。不过,随着《央视》的介入,不仅《新快报》道歉,“羊城晚报报业集团”还免去《新快报》社长、总编辑和副社长的职务。这个一波三折的故事发生在18届三中全会的前夜,人民都在想,背后是谁在起作用?请看报导。
从10月19号广州《新快报》记者陈永洲因揭发湖南上市公司“中联重科”内幕,而遭湖南警方跨省刑事拘捕,到10月23号《新快报》连续两天在头版刊登“请放人”、和“再请放人”的呼吁之后,陈永洲事件迅速演变为国际聚焦的大新闻事件。
不过,随着10月26号《央视》节目播出陈永洲“认罪”画面,形势急转直下,《新快报》和“中国记者协会”也相继反水,刊登致歉声明。
10月30号,湖南警方正式批捕陈永洲,广东省新闻出版广电局也决定吊销陈永洲的新闻记者证,并责成《羊城晚报》报业集团对《新快》报社全面整顿。
时事评论员任百鸣:“每个报纸、报系都有他自己的的势力范围,对它进行支撑。但这次亮剑非常锋芒,但是收剑又特别的快。整个过程让外界来不及过多的反应, 主动认罪、投降,后面撑不住。”
据资料显示,陈永洲揭发的“中联重科”是中国第二大重型设备制造商,公司部分由湖南省政府拥有,在政法系统有很大势力。
香港《苹果日报》披露:“中联重科”的董事长詹纯新的父亲詹顺初,是湖南高级人民法院前院长,而岳父万达则是湖南省委前第二书记﹔副总裁孙昌军是湖南省前省委书记杨正午的女婿﹔再加上现任国家广电总局党组书记蒋建国的儿子等,其他官二代在“中联重科”任职,“中联重科”被喻为是中共官二代的后花园。
任百鸣:“尤其现在习近平跟周永康几乎到了一种要摊牌的关键时刻,《新快报》事件这样出来的话,它里面的政治背景相当复杂。”
时事评论员任百鸣表示,在陈永洲事件中,一些中共媒体已经明确的对政法权威提出了挑战,所以,习近平害怕媒体放开后而引发的一连串失控。
任百鸣还指出,习近平虽然要整肃政法系统,但他为了三中全会的顺利进行,他也乐意借政治对手的反击动作,收紧网路、压制言论空间。
实际上,陈永洲事件的背后是“中联重科”和“三一集团”间的恩怨情仇。
“三一集团”是一家民营企业,也是中国最大、全球第五的工程机械制造商,也是世界最大的混凝土机械制造商,不仅前中共国家主席胡锦涛视察过“三一重工”,前总理温家宝也曾3次前往视察。但去年“三一”因挡不住“中联重科”的连番攻击,被逼迁都北京。
“三一”与“中联”之间的纷争,介入的权力是多重的。美国中文媒体《大纪元》新闻网分析,对于中共领导人习近平而言,湖南警方跨省抓捕的无法无天,完全违背自己的“宪法梦”,而刘云山等江系的宣传部门,通过《央视》播出陈永洲所谓“认罪”镜头,无疑是在暗示支持湖南警方,再一次贬低习近平的形象,并要看习近平下一步究竟如何解决。
时事评论员蓝述: “随着18届三中全会的靠近,各个利益集团之间,抓的这些人,已经是远远的不止打击官员了,这里面牵扯到了官员背后,罩着的那些跟官员有关系的盘根错节的经济实体。”
任百鸣表示,中共已经走到了无解的困局中,只要中共不灭,这种乱局纷争还会继续下去。

Chen Yongzhou Incident Unusual,
Who’s Influencing behind the Scenes?
The New Express published commentaries
on its front page twice last week, urging the police
to release detained reporter Chen Yongzhou,
which gained the attention and sympathy from society,
especially a sentence saying: We have backbones.
But, as soon as Chinese Central TV (CCTV) got involved,
New Express not only apologized, but its president,
vice president, and chief editor were fired by the
Yangcheng Evening News Group that owns New Express.
On 19th October, Chen Yongzhou, reporter of New Express in
Guangzhou Province was under criminal arrest by police
in Hunan Province for reporting on the scandal of Zoomlion,
a company in Hunan.
On Oct. 23 and 24, New Express published on its front page
“Please release him”, and “Please release him, again”.
Chen Yongzhou’s case has soon become
a big news incident gaining international focus.
But, since CCTV aired the confession of Chen Yongzhou
on 26th October, the situation suddenly changed.
New Express and the China Journalists Association
soon published letters of apology.
On 30th October, Hunan police formally arrested Chen Yongzhou.
The Guangzhou Radio And TV Bureau revoked
Chen’s reporter certificate, and required Yangcheng Evening
News Group to rectify New Express thoroughly.
Political commentator Ren Baiming: Every newspaper
and newspaper chain has its sphere of influence to support it.
But the authority’s response to it was very strong and fast.
The whole process didn’t give any time for
the outside world to respond.
Chen couldn’t stand it by the end, confessed and surrendered.
According to a public source, Zoomlion is China’s second
largest heavy equipment manufacturer partially owned by
the government of Hunan Province.
It has a big influence in the political and legal system.
Hong Kong media Apple Daily says, Zoomlion chairman’s
father, Zhan Shunchu, was the former president of
Hunan People’s High Court.
The chairman’s father in-law, Wan Da, was former deputy
secretary of the Hunan provincial committee.
Zoomlion vice president Sun Changjun’s father in-law
was the former secretary of the Hunan provincial committee.
Also, the son of party secretary of The State Administration
of Radio Film and Television of China works at Zoomlion.
Zoomlion is called the backyard of the Chinese Communist
Party’s (CCP) official second generation.
Ren Baiming: Now, it’s close to the time that Xi Jinping
deals with Zhou Yongkang.
The political background is very complicated
behind the New Express incident.
Ren Baiming indicates that some party mouthpiece media
have clearly challenged the authority in this case.
Thus, Xi Jinping is afraid of losing control of the media.
Ren also indicates that although Xi Jiping wants to rectify
the political and legal system, he’d like to use political
methods to control the internet and suppress online speech
to make sure the Third Plenary Session runs smoothly.
In fact, the struggle between Zoomlion and the Sany Group
is behind the incident of Chen Yongzhou.
The Sany Group is a private enterprise, also China’s biggest
and the world’s top 5 construction machinery manufacturer.
Sany is the world’s biggest concrete machinery manufacturer.
Former president Hu Jintao and prime minister Wen Jiabao
all visited the Sany Group.
But the Sany Group was forced to move to Beijing last year,
under pressure from Zoomlion.
The dispute between Sany and Zoomlion
involves different powers.
The Chinese language media, Epoch Times in the US analyzes,
it violates Xi Jinping’s “Dream of Constitution” for
Hunan police to arrest Chen Yongzhou.
But the Department of Propaganda, faction of Jiang Zemin,
broadcast Chen’s confession on CCTV, which shows its
support to Hunan police, and once again belittle Xi Jinping.
They want to see how Xi is going to deal with the case.
Political commentator Lan Shu: As the Third Plenary Session
gets closer, the struggle between all interest groups has
already influenced the complicated economic
entity behind those officials.
Ren Baiming says the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
finds itself an unsolvable dilemma.
If the CCP doesn’t collapse, the struggle and chaos
will keep on going.
